Rain on the surface of the sea

People came stampeding from the boardwalk - some slowly, others more rushed (after all, storms are not very secure). My family was at home and when the rain began to fall – it was loud, noisy and burly. Me and a family friend looked at each other and I said: Let’s bathe in the rain and go into the sea, because it will be warm.

Tornado on the soccer field!

The longer the game went on, the darker the sky grew. Thunderstorms can blow in quickly during summer days where I live, but even so, we were surprised at how soon the first raindrops fell. By half-time, it was pouring, and lightning was so close to our field that the referee stopped the game temporarily.
